Validated Learning - Test assumptions. Learn fast. Pivot wisely.
Flash concepts
Use Hypotheses | Measure Outcomes | Pivot when needed |
|---|---|---|
Use hypotheses to guide change, not assumptions.. | Measure outcomes—not just activity. | Pivot when needed: even “failed” experiments generate insight. |
Practices you can start to apply tomorrow
Step | Action items |
|---|---|
Treat each proposed change as an experiment | Define what you expect to happen (e.g. “If we implement pair programming, we expect fewer code review defects”), then implement it on a small scale, measure the results, and decide whether to adapt, adopt, or drop the change |
Tools and Templates
What | Why and where |
|---|---|
A3 Lean Change Canvas | Compact format to document problem, root cause, and plan. See Template Library. |
Change Hypothesis Tracker | Log, test, and learn from each experiment. (add link) |
Experiment Canvas | Template to design a focused experiment for a change idea. It ensures you think through the hypothesis, the plan, and what metrics you’ll check. This prevents vague “let’s try this” change. See Template Library |
